It would have stung, by Tyrese should have gone to Kansas when he hit the portal. They would have developed him.
Holy **** that’s a big win
- Thread starter dahliaclone
- Start date
Zero chance he'd take minutes from Dajaun Harris or Kevin McCullar. Self won't play point guards who turn the ball over and he has nowhere near the offensive skill of McCullar
I don't think he made a terrible choice in where he went in the moment. It was all about money and Texas has the deepest pockets. The Beard fiasco is what screwed him. I think TH would be a significantly better player if Beard was still there, but this guy that fell ass backwards into one of the best (resources wise at least) jobs in the country isn't doing any of his guys any favors.
Regardless, I'm good with how things played out for us.
He knew Lipsey was gonna take his minutes. He took the bag and I can't blame him. I wasn't ever sold on his pro potential.
Yea for sure but when a team finally gets into a rhythm after a cold start they can be tough to stop because of momentum if that makes sense. If they have started fine and it was close then went cold it’s hard to get it back to close out a game.
That sets up well for the back half and evens out.
Remaining conference SOS per Torvik:
Baylor-1
Kansas-2
Houston-3
Iowa State-9
oh man, I've seen this before. Please please please let me get my hopes up, and not have them dashed like Caleb Grill leaving the program and the Pitt game.
I WANT TO BELIEVE!
Baylor has a legitimate shot at beating them. They already have 3 road losses.
I hope so, I really want ISU to roll in to Houston with the title on the line that night. I think they have what it takes to beat them in that scenario. But there's a lot of rough games between now and then and ISU has to hold up many times under pressure to make that opportunity a reality.
The bigger eye-opener for me is how this impacts SOS of remaining games.
Houston #3
Iowa State #9
Baylor #1
Kansas #2
The other contenders have the toughest schedules remaining in the entire conference.
We've made it through our gauntlet already, statistically speaking at least.
The stage is set. We're in a good spot to make this happen!
The unbalanced schedule is going to be a big adjustment for Kansas. Not getting every team at home is going to matter.
I think ISU would also have to win the conference tournament to be considered for a #1 seed.
got tix to go to the @ Houston game. oddly like ISU's chances there.
That non-conference schedule is a boat anchor. I don't see a path for a one seed and the needle would have to be absolutely threaded to get to the two line.
I think there may be some revisionist history there. TJ is on-record as being very surprised by how ready Tamin was. Lipsey wouldn't have even been on campus when he decided to leave.
I think it was a decision made by Tyrese based on what he saw in Tamin. He's bigger, plays a lot like Tyrese did. He was from Ames so it was as in his face as much as it could be.
I personally expected Tamin to be a stud. He was awesome his senior year of football after the injury which dropped his rating nationally. I agree Tamin out performed his perceived ceiling but so did Tyrese and basically everyone who plays under TJ.
Plus, Hunter was a Prohm recruit that stuck around. There wasn't that loyalty to TJ and then you add what Texas could do financially for him given his family situation, it made sense for him.
One of those rare times where it worked out for everybody.
